2. The comment made was in reference to the Kennedy administration's attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro, so the reference to the legality of the act was relevant and it was, indeed, declared by legislation through the US Congress to be illegal in the mid-seventies. Until then, it was presumed to be legal in the US. Also presumably, if the US assassinated a foreign leader, it's likely that the US President who gave the order wouldn't be visiting that foreign country for the rest of his life - because, as you noted, US law doesn't governed other countries.

I'm not the one that noted the latter but of course its true. I think there's several countries that Bush shies away from, too! The classification or legality of assassination is a technicality that allowed the US government to commit crimes. Doesn't make it right. And probably hasn't stopped if deemed necessary post 1975. I really don't need your lesson on this CJ having a good understanding of it previously. Same for the ICC. You said nothing different of it than I. Not recognising the authority of the ICC/not a party to. Not a party to/not recognising the authority of. **** dude, our government would be constantly in front of it.

Oh dear ****ing lord. Not only are you flat out wrong that the libs are worse about it, ya'll both are equally pathetic about it. You just followed criticism of earlier partisan commentary with an even more exaggerated partisan comment.

That's true. The left treats its' leaders like celebrities; The right treats it's leader like God.

That's a no ****ter!

I think it goes a long way in showing how out of the loop the average Libbo really is.

Well, not if it's true, it is true, and since I'd referenced assassination plots by the US government several posts in a row prior to that one, I mistakenly assumed my Leftist brothers and sisters were in the know like Apacherat, Canadian John and myself. I guess I should have known better.
